I moved away from my matrimonial home and back into where I spent my adolescence years.

This place belongs to my parents and we are sort of renting it from them.

They are against the idea of us selling our matrimonial home because it is at a good location and we are able to command good rental rate, so the arrangement is my parents will collect whatever we rent out for our current place. We can’t be leeching off my parents so this works for us.

To think that I spent so much time spent looking for a place to rent near my parents. I am elated to be nearer to my parents and get better childcare support and being able to spend time with them more often.

More walks, more fresh air and more positive energy. I feel better already.

Everything about this place is good except it is not close to any good schools, so ultimately we have to move in a few years. Meanwhile, we will hold on to our current place and keep trying for a new HDB.

Application is a bitch. As long as we are not living 1km within a good school, the hunt is not over…
